Method
Step 1
Prepare a barbecue for medium-high heat. Using a fork, pierce the eggplant several times. Barbecue, turning occasionally, for 30 mins or until the skin is charred and centre is soft. Cool eggplant. Cut eggplant in half. Scrape flesh into a strainer set over a bowl and set aside for 10 mins to drain.
Step 2
In a food processor, process garlic until finely chopped. Add cumin, 2 tbs oil, 2 tbs lemon juice and tahini and process to combine. Add the drained eggplant flesh. Pulse to form a very coarse puree. Season with salt.
Step 3
Spoon the eggplant puree over the wraps. Top with the rocket, avocado, tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, onion and pepitas. Drizzle the wraps with remaining 1 tbs lemon juice and oil. Season with salt and pepper. Fold wraps and serve.
